Ingredients

Scale

Rice Base

  • 1 cup sushi rice

Protein

  • 1 chicken breast, diced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets, steamed
  • 1 carrot, julienned

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook it according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.
  2. Prepare Teriyaki Chicken: While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and sauté, stirring occasionally. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and cook the chicken thoroughly until it is fully cooked and coated with the sauce, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Steam Broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets until tender but still vibrant green, approximately 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. Prepare Carrots: Julienne the carrot into thin matchstick-sized pieces for a fresh and crunchy texture.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Start by placing a base of the warm sushi rice in the bottom of your serving bowl. Arrange the teriyaki chicken on top, followed by the steamed broccoli and julienned carrot to add color and nutrition.
  6. Add Sesame Topping: Finish by sprinkling the sesame seeds evenly over the assembled bowl for a nutty crunch and extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty meal.
